requirements. Holmes con-
siders the module the answer
for young people and for
anyone on a fixed income.

Richard Michell of Central
Saanich and his fiance agree
with him. The young couple
bought their modular home
(they call it their trailer) in
November and have been
looking for a lot to put it on.
They were told by the ad-
ministration’ at Central
Saanich that if they wanted to
locate in a subdivision their
mobile home must be valued
at 125 per cent of the average
value of surrounding homes.
Otherwise they could put it on
a one-acre lot. At first they
thought their only alternative
was to go into a.trailer park.

NOT IN
PARK -

“T don't think it is the righ
attitude to say all modular
homes should have to be
grouped in a trailer park,”
said Michell.

Holmes agreed, saying that
when the landscaping is done
around his place his home
would be worth as much as the
one next door.

He said in the Monday in-
terview that it was his im-
pression the Town of Sidney
were not against the modular
home provided it meets their
requirements and looks nice.

“The last thing I want to do
is annoy or bother someone
else, but we've got to have a

STUDENTS TO WORK IN C. SAANICH

A number of summer jobs
may be done by students in
Central Saanich this year, but
painting the municipal hall
might not be one of them.

A list of six projects, in-
cluding the painting, were
submitted to the district's
public works committee
Monday for consideration as
possible S,W.I.M. 1975 grant
programs.

The program (Students
Working In Municipalities) is
funded by the province to
provide work opportunities for
students carning money to
continue their education.

Works Superintendent Gary
Rogers told the committee
that the program would allow
hiring of 80 per cent high
school students, and 20° per
cent university students, The
latter, he said, would act as
supervisors,

Qnee approved by council,
grants will he sought for a

home,”’ said Holmes.

Holmes said he bought his

‘lot on Resthaven Drive in
November. Both he and his
wife wanted to live in the
Sidney area. Since they moved

the module onto the Ict there

has been a continuous stream
of people either calling or
driving by, Holmes explained.

“There is tremendous in-

terest,’ he said. ‘‘This is the
answer to the high cost of
housing and the housing
shortage.”

Sidney council Monday
evening passed a motion
that could see segregated
zones for modular or
‘mobile’ homes within the

. town.

“The only difference
between those and a trailer
home is that the wheels
have been taken off....-
personally I would object to
having one of them planted
hext to my home,” said
Ald. Chris Andersen.

“T can see that in the next
“six months we could have

15 or 20 of them in Sidney,”

continued Andersen, ‘It’s

not fair to people with
empty lots sitting next to
them,”’

Ald, Hugh Hollingworth
said he would not want one
placed next to his home
either but felt the home in
question was ‘beautifully
jaid out.’

slashing crew (seven
students), ditching crew (five
students), maintenance crew
(five students), parks crew
(five students), an office crew
(two students) and a painting
crew (five students).

Included in the list. of
buildings that might be
painted were the pollution
control centre, lk Lake
plant, three water pumping
Stations, three sewage
pumping stations, painting at
centennial park and the
municipal hall exterior.

Students had been used for
painting last year, Rogers
said, and had done a good job,

Ald. Dave Hill opposed the
painting proposal, elaiming
that such work should be put
oul to tender ins the com-
munity.

Recreation Funding

said. ‘‘We need the guidance

of a qualified person.”

The budget itself is com-
prised of $10,000 from each of
the three municipalities and

$10,000 from the provincial

government. However, Sidney
council Monday evening was
presented with a $20,000 in-
crease over the original figure
by Ald. Chris Andersen.

“Unless the municipalities
get behind and support this
budget, I for one will be forced
to tender my resignation from
the recreation commission,”
said Andersen.

His associate on the com-.

mission, .Ald. Pat Merrett,
disagreed with this view and
said that a budget of $60,000
was too much. “If they go for
$60,000 this year, next year
they will want $100,000."’ said
Merrett. ‘‘We could carry on
this year quite nicely with just
the $30,000.

Ald. Wilkie Gardner said he
would support Andersen’s
figure of $60,000 ‘in principal.’
‘However I would like to see a
breakdown of how the budget
was inereased.”"

Mayor Stan Dear voiced
concern that council members
did not have a detailed budget
before them on which to base
their decision.

He said if the same figure of
$60,000 had come up before
council on its own budgetary
matters that no one would
pass it without first examining
the figures behind it.

“We have nothing before
us,” said the Mayor. "You're &

now that we are in the tri-

just asked to — spend
$60,000..,.one doesn’t speak
against.... recreation in’ this
Town — ‘it’s like speaking
against motherhood — and

recreational commission,
nobody dares speak against it
cither,..."

“Tt would disagree with
you,” snapped Ald, Andersen,

“Where's the budget then?"
interrupted. the Mayor,

“Let me speak!" said
Andersen, “We are here to
handle the people's money and
if they don't agree with me,
they can throw me out at the
next election. ...0 think | may
well

ns tender my
resignation.”
Following this somewhat

heated exchange the matter
was tabled and then lifted for
